Myosin heavy chain-embryonic regulates skeletal muscle differentiation during mammalian development
24 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Myosin heavy chain-embryonic (MyHC-emb) is a skeletal muscle-specific contractile protein expressed during muscle development. Mutations in MYH3, the gene encoding MyHC-emb, lead to Freeman–Sheldon and Sheldon–Hall congenital contracture syndromes. Here, we characterize the role of MyHC-emb during mammalian development using targeted mouse alleles. Germline loss of MyHC-emb leads to neonatal and...
